Labour unlikely to pursue second Leveson Inquiry
Cobryn's Peace & Justice Project says decision not to pursue inquiry is a ‘deeply disappointing and shameful indictment of how media barons can influence the government’
Lord Justice Leveson with the Report from the Inquiry into the Culture, Practices and Ethics of the Press inside the QEII Conference Centre, in central London, November 29, 2012
THE Rupert Murdoch-backed Labour Party is unlikely to pursue the second part of the Leveson Inquiry, reports suggested today.
Launched in 2011, the first part of the inquiry investigated the culture, practices and ethics of the press after the phone-hacking scandal involving Mr Murdoch’s News of the World.
The second part was due to examine the relationship between journalists and the police but was dropped by the Tory government in 2018.
